Re:  Wikipedia on XML
Hah, let's be truly pedantic about it - an XML document is a labeled acyclic directed graph! That should be clear as mud! :-)

I also wonder if it would be worth discussing the distinction between schema and instance here, or if that should more properly be the role of the Wiki XML Schema page?

An XML document is a labeled hierarchy, but I wouldn't agree that XML
itself is a labeled hierarchy.
